10:19 to leave the shape open you can just SHIFT+ click the last point to deselect it and when you continue drawing it will create a new one. Thanks for sharing, NBA Commercial looks really nice.
@@cmdelavega THANK YOU SOO MUCH for this. Do you mind adding the section on how @blottermedia instagram.com/blottermedia/ does the other 'moving lights animations'. I really Appreciate what you are doing
For sure! Popular technique. Would be a great tutorial. I'm finishing work for Super Bowl, then I'll finish Part 2 of the ESPN promo tutorial and I'll get started on this technique. Thanks for sharing and suggestion!!
Excellent. I love how you took a standard feature in After Effects (The Stroke tool) and taught us how to use it through an awesome creative looking tutorial, not just here, make a box using the stroke tool or here the stroke tool can make lines. This tut makes learning this feature interesting. I've been using After Effects for approx. 20 years and there are still many features I haven't mastered. Cheers.
Thank you! I appreciate your comment and looking deeper into the technique in the tutorial. Same here, I've been using AE for a while - 11 years - and still have much much more to learn!!
Thank you Vegard! I appreciate your support for the channel and all your comments over the years. People like yourself keeps me motivated to keep doing these videos!
@@cmdelavega Actually if you have the time I would like to know if you went to University to study VFX or were you self taught? (sorry if you already made a video on this)
@@Jake-iy8lf No worries! I actually studied engineering. All the motion graphics and VFX I taugth myself through books, videos and practice! Here's a recap: ua-cam.com/video/c7C5L4weZ0o/v-deo.html
hey nice video..How did you trim the layers (at 2:27)in after effects? i always split them and it takes more time because you get 2 same files splited:)
Thanks!! With the layer selected on timeline, hit ALT + [ (trim left side) or ALT + ] (trim on right side). You can also pull the edges with the mouse.
Most definitely! You may want to use a different technique to make it less work otherwise you could be going frame by frame or if it's people talking maybe the face stays the same but just the mouth moves. You'll need to do some experimentation and see what works best.
I'm more adept at illustrator. Can I create this vector using different color strokes and import the file to accomplish the same thing? Meaning will it separate out like your shape layers? Thanks
Yes! In Illustrator work in the same resolution of your video. Import the AI file into AE. Drag into timeline and go to LAYER Menu -> CREATE -> Create Shapes from Vector Layer. It should keep the different color strokes and width.
I love Saber plugin and I use it a lot. You can definitely use it for this technique as well. There's no right/wrong way, it all depends on the style/look or what you're trying to achieve.
Double check that no layer is selected on timeline. Click outside the timeline to deselect. If a layer is selected and you use pentool, it will draw a mask.
@@cmdelavega indeed brother, it was drawring a mask. But when I double click on any footage, it opens up some layer. On that layer the tools. What is that layer which opens up on double click. Thanks a lot man.
When you double click on any footage, it will open up in the layer panel. You don't want to be in the layer panel to create the shape layer. You want to stay in the composition panel (main window/work area where you see what you're creating/animating). If you're in the composition panel, follow these steps. (1) deselect all layers by going to Edit -> Deselect All. You can also use the shortcut Ctrl+Shift+A. (2) Click on the Pen Tool. (3) Draw/Trace in the composition panel. At this point After Effects will create a new layer and it should be a Shape Layer. The layer name should start with the words "Shape Layer". Hope this helps! Let me know how it goes.
You can export using Adobe Media Encoder. Have AE and Media Encoder both open. Simply drag the comp from AE to Media Encoder. Use the H.264 codec and UA-cam preset.
I'm using Intuos Pro - www.wacom.com/en-us/products/pen-tablets/wacom-intuos-pro-overview - I use it for everything! I find it easier and less stress on the wrist.
Thank you! As far as I know, Nest or Nesting and Pre-compose is the same thing, just different ways of saying the same concept. We use the word Pre-compose in After Effects and Nest in Premiere.
I think you can improve your speed if you use Adobe Illustrator, not only can it give you smoother and cleaner lines but it's easier to navigate around for painting. Then, import to After effects and convert to shapes.
Thanks for the tip! Yes, definitely for those who are comfortable with Illustrator, it's a better/quicker workflow. Illustrator is not my strength, so that's why I just stuck with AE. Appreciate the tip!!
10:19 to leave the shape open you can just SHIFT+ click the last point to deselect it and when you continue drawing it will create a new one.

Hi what software you are using for animation
I'm using After Effects. For frame by frame, I've used FlipaClip (it's great) and Scribbl (quick to make those neon light scribble).
Can we use this effect like talking to someone in a conversation
Most definitely! You may want to use a different technique to make it less work otherwise you could be going frame by frame or if it's people talking maybe the face stays the same but just the mouth moves. You'll need to do some experimentation and see what works best.
I've been watching your videos and it's look pretty good and I will like to share your videos with my friends who like to learn about AE
Thank you!! Appreciate sharing the video!
nice, great job.
Thank you!!
When will your course begin? Im waiting :)
I have the beginner and intermediate level up and running! Go to www.aemastercourse.com
Thank you so much.. Seems so cool... You said that we can do this either in an image or video? How to do it for a video subject?
You can freeze frame the parts of the video you want to do or you can do it frame by frame, which looks amazing but is extremely time consuming.
@@cmdelavega yeah I thought the same.. Thanks
I should try this.
Definitely! Give it a shot.
One of my favorite tutorials, I can use it to add cool kitchen effects in my cooking videos. Electric knife skills LOL
Thank you bro!!!
You are the best man!

C.M. de la VEGA thank you!
Can we rotoscope the subject then find edges then deep glow
Yes you can go that route, won't give you the cleanest look but if that doesn't matter than should be ok.
good job
Thanks!
So brilliantly explained. Thank you for creating this video. You are a great discovery. 👍👍
Happy to hear it was helpful!! Thank you🙏

Please tell me which Wacom Intuos Pro model are you using?
Thank you! I'm using the Wacom Intuos Pro Model PTH-660
Lets just say you had the Saber plugin. Would that be better than doing it that way? (as in making a mask and using the saber effect)
I love Saber plugin and I use it a lot. You can definitely use it for this technique as well. There's no right/wrong way, it all depends on the style/look or what you're trying to achieve.
@@cmdelavega oh ok! Thanks!
can you do such stuff for me please some complex stuff of my tower cranes?
Awesome channel amigo! I wish I can help but I'm quite busy with lots of projects. Best of luck in your crane videos!
Amazing bro, welcome back!
Thank you amigo!! It's great to be back!
If u add saber to the mask it will look even more lit :)
Lol. It definitely would look more lit!
Man I was not able to put a shape on footage. Thanks a lot. I was missing deselecting all the layers.
Double check that no layer is selected on timeline. Click outside the timeline to deselect. If a layer is selected and you use pentool, it will draw a mask.

How to save a file as a movie in the end?
You can export using Adobe Media Encoder. Have AE and Media Encoder both open. Simply drag the comp from AE to Media Encoder. Use the H.264 codec and UA-cam preset.
@@cmdelavega tnx
I just found your channel while trying to find some awesome sports motion graphics for After Effects. Thanks so much!
You're welcome! Hope the tutorials will be helpful!
What type of TouchPad or laptop are u using
I use a Wacom Intuos Pro tablet.
Very good, continue guiding the galera in tutorials like this one.
Lol!! Thanks bro!

30 seconds into the video and I've already pressed 'subscribe'.
I really appreciate the subscription! Thank you!! Any questions you have in After Effects, feel free to ask.
I have one question. What is the difference between “nest” and “pre-compose”?
Ps: I like your videos very much. Great work!
Thank you! As far as I know, Nest or Nesting and Pre-compose is the same thing, just different ways of saying the same concept. We use the word Pre-compose in After Effects and Nest in Premiere.
Ok, thank you!
@@MiguelGarcia-xx7we No problem!
a (sort of) cool alternative is to import the frames into photoshop and apply the glowing edge filter, then import to after effects
Yes! I've tried it too! Doesn't always give me great results. What about you?
@@cmdelavega no not everytime but if you shoot in front of an even BG it usually turns out pretty good
